The Kazakhstani women's football championship is contested in the top level women's football league in Kazakhstan. Before 1991, some Kazakh women's clubs had competed in the Soviet Union women's league system, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union most women's teams left for Russia or simply dissolved. The number of teams varies from year to year. In 2008 there were 4 teams, 7 in 2009 and 5 in 2015. The league is played on several matchdays a summer. With now 5 teams, there will be 4 matchdays, actually about a week long, which features a full round robin (so 10 matches, two per day). The winner after the last matchday is the champion and qualifies for a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League. 2020 teams BIIK-Kazygurt (Shymkent) FK Jas Sunkar Kaisar Okzhetpes (Kokshetau) SDYuSShOR No.8 Astana (Nur-Sultan) Turan (Turkistan) Champions 2004: Alma-KTZH 2005: Alma-KTZh 2006: Alma-KTZh 2007: Alma-KTZh 2008: Alma-KTZh 2009: CSHVSM 2010: CSHVSM 2011: BIIK Kazygurt 2012: CSHVSM 2013: BIIK Kazygurt 2014: BIIK Kazygurt 2015: BIIK Kazygurt 2016: BIIK Kazygurt 2017: BIIK Kazygurt 2018: BIIK Kazygurt 2019: BIIK Kazygurt 2020: BIIK Kazygurt CSHVSM played the 2009 season under the name SDYUSSHOR № 2.
